alerting for collector pairs

It would be good if we could get alerts for when collector pairs go down so we know when monitoring is not working in our environment.

    Have you tried assigning an escalation chain to the collector in Settings -> Collectors -> Select your Collector -> Manage -> "Escalation Chain".

    If you do this, you'll receive an Agent alert (LMAx where x is the collector-id).  

    Also, if you set up collector failover (from the same screen), you'll see an LMFx (failover alert) from this collector.
